The Latin American loyalty and rewards market recorded significant growth despite economic challenges in the last two to three years. Demand for rewards programs increased considerably in countries such as Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina during the pandemic period. This was primarily due to with rapid digitalization of the payment systems; many fintech start-ups launched their loyalty and rewards programs to expand their target market. Moreover, growing online retailing also created awareness and demand for these products in the region.

The publisher expects consumers of this demographics to make for the perfect target market for small and medium-sized merchants seeking to launch their loyalty and rewards programs in the country.

• Notably, the firm is targeting retailers who are looking to better understand their customers through consumer data analysis technology. Through an API, Leal connects to billing and point of sale payment terminals, thereby capturing important consumption habits and other data. This is then converted into analytics and business intelligence, helping retailers increase their business growth.

Loyalty program providers are entering into strategic partnerships with digital payment firms in Mexico

Over the last three to four years, the adoption of digital payment services has surged significantly among consumers in Mexico. In the midst of this growing adoption of digital payment products, loyalty program providers are targeting digital payment firms to further boost their growth in the country.

• In August 2021, PAYBACK, one of the leading customer loyalty program providers in Mexico, announced that the firm had entered into a strategic partnership with i2c, the leading digital payment, and banking technology firm, and KEO, an innovative lending company.
• Under the partnership, the firms are launching a KEO PAYBACK American Express Card. Notably, the card is aimed at boosting consumer credit availability in Mexico, which will subsequently help in increasing financial inclusion.
